As any football fan knows, Friday sees one of the biggest games on the calendar. No, not the opening game of the Euro 2012 tournament (Poland V Greece? Pfft, who cares about that?) but the clash of musical titans that is This Time (by the 1982 England World Cup squad) against Umbabarauma (by Jorge Ben).

Yes, it's the Guardian music site's own soccerball-related tournament. Over the next week or so, we want YOU to determine the best football song of all time. It's a knockout competition, with eight songs in contention – that shortlist having been decided by our expert panel convened by our own Michael Hann and comprising seasoned former FA Cup finalist Matty Lawrence, non-league fanatic Bob Stanley, of the band Saint Etienne, and the mysterious composer of four football songs for York City.
